I have been promising myself that I would start an "Ellie" blog for years now...three and three quarters to be exact! Now that Ellie's about to turn the big four and we are two days into 2013, I have officially decided to make myself sit down and get this thing started. Not sure how it works yet or how to get a nice fancy background, but I resolve to figure it out! I want to write down our memories. I have photos galore, but never seem to take note of the sweet, amusing, & hilarious words that take me by surprise on a daily basis.

I guess I'll just start out with today. Went to Target with my mom and Elle to start getting a few birthday supplies; plastic forks, knives, plates, etc. Elle grabs a massive pinata and carries it over to me, hollering like crazy for me to buy it. I sometimes assume that she knows less than she really does. I mean, the girl is smart as can be. But I guess I assumed that she didn't remember what a pinata was since the last time she saw one was at a party when she was just turning two! I said, smartly, "Ellie, do you even know what a pinata is?" She always does this. She is the comeback queen. She whips back at me, "Mommy, a pinatas a thing you hit lots and lots of times and it breaks and you get to grab a whole bunch of candy." Like, I love when that happens. So literal. She puts me in my place all the time. I really thought the only reason she wanted it was because it had Cinderella plastered all over it. Funny.

I'm one sleepy momma now and need to go to bed. But yay! I did it. Hopefully, I've gotten my blog ball rolling and will keep it up!
